"What happened, Maya? I got to know that you looked stressed?" Viraj asked as he entered their room.

Mahamaya was laying on the bed, in a little sitting position, body resting on her elbows as her left leg was propped up. She had returned from her tour of prostitution houses. She could only cover three big ones before it was evening and their time of service. Till the time she had reached home, she was all sweaty and their dirty language made her feel dirty too.

Her lotus eyes, which were closed, opened as she looked at him with her hazel eyes, giving him her full attention and teased, "Should I then think that my husband has people watching me?"

Viraj smiled, sitting by her side, roaming his hand through her head, moving some of her wet hair away from her forehead. Holding her cheek lovingly, he said softly, "Always the witty one."

He booped her nose, chuckling as she made a face, he answered her, "Yes, I have, for your security. However, I got to know this because of Vijay instead of the security. He said you looked pretty upset."

Groaning, she hugged his waist, stuffing her face in his chest, she replied honestly, "I cannot forget the things I saw, the life they have lived. I am also thinking about how good of a human you are. You were born in this lifestyle, you ideally had no way out of this but you decided to use this, use your connections to the business and politics world for the betterment of the people even if you did not have to. I'm proud of you."

Viraj smiled, stroking her soft hair as he joked, "Of course I would. Sant Sri Sri Spiderman Maharaj has said, 'With great power comes great responsibility.'"

That made Mahamaya giggle as he joined her, pulling her in a more sitting position and then hugging her tight, pecking her forehead.

Looking at her face, her beautiful beautiful face, her lotus eyes, her chandra bindi (crescent moon dot between eyes), her proudly straight nose and her petal like lips, he felt completely enchanted as he said softly, "I am a lucky man that I could marry you and every man would agree with me."

She blushed, her cheeks reddening immediately as he chuckled, admiring her face. Hugging her tight, he asked her softly, "When would you like to become a mother, Maya?"

Mahamaya thought about it. She was already a little old because of her medical studies and that could increase complexities in their children if she delayed it too much. However, there were still older parents whose children faced no complexities whatsoever. She thought that they could take that risk.

Looking in his eyes, she said, "I will like to wait for a few years, maybe till Tara has grown up enough? She needs us more than she needs a sibling probably. Besides, we have many things to set up before the baby would be safe in the world."

Viraj hummed, nodding slightly as Mahamaya could feel his chin bobbing up and down from above her head, making her smile. She loved it when they were closer. As a person, she was very cuddly and she liked that he was cuddly too.

Looking at Mahamaya, he said calmly, "I was considering the same thing."

His words made her smile as she felt like she was experiencing some kind of marital bliss. Remembering back to all those times when her mother could not stop praising her father, Mahamaya decided that she was feeling the same giddy feeling.

Viraj smiled and pulled her to the bed, helping her lay down as he started massaging her feet. Gasping, she almost sat up and said, "Aaho (hubby), what are you doing? You are touching your wife's feet? Do you want sin on her head?"

He rolled his eyes, smiling as he teased, "I'm massaging her feet, not touching it for blessings."

Mahamaya thought about it and nodded, before she asked back, "Well, you must be tired too. Do you want me to press your feet or massage your head too?"

Viraj smiled and shook his head no, coming up and pressing his lips on her forehead.  Suddenly, they both flinched as there was a knock on the door.

The knock was relentless as Viraj took the gun from under his pillow, turning off its safety as Mahamaya quickly got up, hiding in the bathroom. As Vijay's sound filled the room, Mahamaya got out.

Vijay's voice was teasing as he said, "What? Did I interrupt the love birds? You don't want to worry about a pregnant wife or a child at this time, Viraj."

Mahamaya frowned and took a pillow, throwing it straight at Vijay, making him wince and mumble, "Why is she so strong? Isn't she supposed to be beautiful, feminine and delicate or something?"

That made the couple crack up loudly as Mahamaya bent over, holding her stomach and laughing. Viraj and Vijay noticed how sweet her laughs sound as Viraj gestured Vijay to leave, making him huff and go.

Viraj then grabbed her waist from behind, biting her ear and whispering in it, "You are laughing way too much. Don't laugh in front of others. I will get jealous."

She stiffened and blushed, lowering her head, feeling shy. Gulping, she asked softly, "What are you doing?"

Viraj nuzzled her neck, noting the sandalwood smell from there, "Enjoying the marital bliss with my wife."

She blushed, elbowing him from behind, mumbling, "Then go and see what Vijay wanted. He obviously didn't want to tell since I was here."

Viraj groaned, even though he nodded. He knew that was the case as he sighed and went to the bathroom, splashing water on his face and then going outside to find Vijay...

A/N:

Hey, sorry for the delay. I wanted a normal chapter in, with them being close to each other. I don't know if everyone will enjoy this or not but I really wanted to show the relationship between the both of them, like I had of Mahesh and Indrayani.
